Email hosting by using Outlook in Office 365

Question

I may be in the wrong forum, and I am not an IT pro.
I have retired from business where I had my own domain name that was hosted by my service provider.
I have now purchased a private domain name and am looking to use that within the office 365 environment.
Can someone please help me set that up?

Hi PeterDavenport,
You could follow the steps below to add a domain to Microsoft 365, but please note that you must be a Global Administrator of a business or enterprise plan.

1. Go to the admin center at https://admin.microsoft.com.
2. Go to the Settings > Domains page.
3. Select Add domain.
4. Enter the name of the domain you want to add, then select Next.
5. Verify your ownership of the domain.
6. Change the DNS required for Office to use your domain.
7. If you chose to add DNS records yourself , select Next and you'll see a page with all the records that you need to add to your registrars website to set up your domain.
